2. Bo Moss - 15%
3. Jim Cox - 10%
Court Clerk
1. Barbara Harrison - 70%

Congress

Thanks Josh!!! You deserve McBrayer.

Jim,
I think McBrayer has a campaign organization that can't be matched. He has the money, the volunteers, the name recognition, you name it, he has it. That said, the only reason I have Moss slightly ahead of you is a stupid one (one that honestly doesn't have much effect), and that is signage. As far as I can tell, from a mail perspective and all other things equal, you and Moss ran equivalent campaigns. I just think if there is someone driving to the poll who is intentionally going to vote against McBrayer, they will see 50 Bo Moss signs (illegally placed, by the way) before they see your name once. I don't know how much the police endorsement will help, but again, I think you and Moss ran about equal campaigns, so we will find out tomorrow. Best of luck to you tomorrow, you are certainly more qualified than Moss to run the SD.

Broun will beat Fleming by more than 20%.

I haven't followed the race too closely. But Broun does some stupid things, and Fleming crushed him in money. How well the money was used, I dont know, we will find out.

Josh you have to be the the least intelligent amateur political seer on the earth if you think that Mike Crotts is going to get 48%.
When making predications "hope" does not count.
I can`t believe that Jason allows you to post the crap that you write. I have never seen someone who is so far off on so many races. Tomorrow you will have mud on your face.

Tomorrow you will have mud on your face.
And I won't really care. I voted for John Douglas, but I think Crotts' mail was effective.
By the way, make your predictions, I would love to see our differences.
And try not to be such an ass, politics should be fun.

The only person making an ass out of themselves is you with your outrageous predictions and laughable comments.

Thanks for the class and civility. No predictions, still?
Posted by: Joshua Patterson | July 14, 2008 11:11 PM
Who is anyone,
Actually, don't even take the time for the other races, just give us your numbers for the Douglas v. Crotts race.
Posted by: Joshua Patterson | July 14, 2008 11:13 PM
The only one on the list that will be on my ballot is Douglas/Crotts.
Douglas 56%
Crotts 44%

Josh,
Perhaps you should clean your crystal ball! It appears to have distorted the outcome. We'll see how close you are tonight.
